ETP Update

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Two new bands just added to Seo Taiji's ETP Fest concert in August -- Maximum the Hormone and Death Cab for Cutie. I have never heard of Maximum the Hormone before, but their Myspace page is here. Reminds me a bit of Ministry. Death Cab for Cutie could be fun ...

If You See Just One Show This Weekend… (June 28, 29)

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Plenty of shows going on again this weekend. Next Floor, going on at the Han River, near Sangam in western Seoul, is obviously the biggest gig -- 30,000 won for a whole bunch of live acts and DJs (poster here, schedule here). There is also an interesting looking show at Yardbirds ...

June Club Day and Han River Festival

Friday, June 20th, 2008

In addition to the usual end-of-month Club Day, this month there is a huge, two-day festival going on at the Han River this weekend. Called Next Floor 08 (and the Hangang Club Festival), there will be oodles of international DJs and great bands playing all night long, just west of ...

Nanbanjin in Seoul: June 20 & 21

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Guest Post by Eric David (from Animal Dads) It’s common knowledge that the Internet has opened new doors for smaller bands. Vampire Weekend, Tapes'nTapes and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have gone from blog favorites to talk-show guests within a calendar year. A textbook example of this shift in the ...

Another Summer Music Festival Blows Into Town

Friday, June 13th, 2008

The Summer Breeze music festival is picking up steam, with a couple more acts just added to the bill -- The Prodigy, Rize and Stacie Orrico. They join Panic at the Disco, Simple Plan, James Scott, New Found Glory, One Republic and Lost Prophets. Organizers say that more is to ...

If You See Just One Show This Weekend… (June 13-15)

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Actually, I have no idea about this weekend. There is no one, overwhelmingly cool show. But there are several very good looking shows, any of which should be worth checking out. Tonight (Friday) we have Windy City, along with Kingston Rudieska and friends, playing at Sangsang Madang. Definitely a solid and ...

Random Concert Notes

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Here are some random bits of concert news I have come across recently: Nanbanjin, a band from Japan (Myspace page is here), is going to be playing three gigs in Hongdae on June 20 and 21. They play on June 20 at 11pm at Freebird, along with We Need Surgery (for ...

Pentaport just announced the additions of Deli Spice, Kasabian, Geom X GumX and Windy City to this year's line-up. And Seo Taiji announced that this year's ETP Fest will be on Aug. 15. No word on who (besides Taiji) will be playing.

Weekend Concerts

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

A heck of a lot of shows going on this weekend, especially on Saturday night. I have already talked about the shoegazer show going on at Bowie, but here a couple more that should be worth going to. Certainly the biggest bang for your buck is Saturday night at Badabie, where ...

Never Right Looks Just Right

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Interesting looking show coming up on Saturday (May 24) at club Bowie featuring three shoegazing bands — Lobotomy, Bulssazo and Bulgilhan Joeum. The show is the eighth Never Right show... although I must admit I have no idea what the Never Right thing is all about. If you have not heard ...
